About Slack Tide Rentals
A slack tide is the peaceful moment between the rising and falling tide—when the water is still, and time slows down. At Slack Tide Rentals, we bring that same effortless experience to your beach days. We handle the setup so you can sit back, relax, and soak in the serenity of The Forgotten Coast.

Service & Setup
We currently serve St. George Island, including the Plantation. We are also servicing Indian Pass and Cape San Blas. These are located in Gulf County Florida.
At this time, no, we do not set up inside the state park. However, we can discuss an alternate location nearby to accommodate your needs.
When you book, you’ll provide your rental address and let us know if your property is Gulf-front.
– If Gulf-front, your setup will be placed directly in front of your rental.
– If not Gulf-front, you can either specify your preferred beach access point or let us choose the closest and most convenient location for you.
– Set up: Your chairs and umbrellas will be ready by 10 AM.
– Take down: We begin breaking down setups as early as 6 PM.
On your first day of service, we will:
✔ Take a photo of your setup
✔ Send you a text notification letting you know it’s ready to enjoy!
No problem! Just call or text us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on availability.
Tipping is not required, but if you feel your setup crew has provided exceptional service, it is always appreciated. We take pride in working hard to ensure you have the best beach experience possible!
Weather Policy
We closely monitor the weather each evening and morning to determine if conditions allow for setup.
– High Wind Policy:
– If winds reach 15+ mph at the time of setup, we will not open umbrellas for safety reasons.
– If winds increase to 15+ mph during the day, we will message you and ask that you lower the umbrellas.
– If winds reach 20+ mph, we will not set up for the day, and you will receive a credit for the missed day.
– Rain Policy:
– Florida weather can be unpredictable, and short rain showers are common.
– If the forecast shows all-day rain, you may request a refund for the day—but you must contact us the day before setup.
– If we have already set up for the day and it begins to rain, you will still be charged for that day’s rental.
If you have concerns about the forecast during your stay, please reach out—we’re happy to help!
